Apparently money is not buying you love, or at least not for Jeb...

That adds up to 30% of all of their funds as of end of June (not sure how much they have raised since then, but I'm guessing less than they have spent.

I think that SuperPacs are very harmful for fair and transparent elections. Every 4 years elections become less and less transparent, candidates have ability to spend almost unlimited amounts of money. As modern history tells, higher-spending candidates always win. t SuperPacs have no limit on source or amount of contributions.

This is not surprising taking into account the fact that his main donors are Koch brothers. Koch brothers spend annually about $700 million on lobbying politicians. Jeb Bush has enough money of Superpacs and donors: J.P. Morgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, Citigroup. Yeah,  J.P. Morgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, Citigroup sponsor not only Democrats.

Given that he doesnt do well in FL & NV with Latinos in primary, how is he gonna galvanize them in the crucial state of CO.  It i s much more feasible for Dems to believe this with Clinton and pick Castro as her running mate, since she is already galvanizing them in primaries. Given the Castro bros endorsement.

Unfortunately for Governor Bush, he's running his father's 1980 campaign and not his 1988 campaign or George W. Bushs 2000 campaign. Despite being the best qualified candidate and the establishment candidate, he's not the most charismatic candidate nor what the party is seeking.
